Thomas Percival’s Medical Ethics and the Invention of Medical Professionalism: With Three Key Percival Texts, Two Concordances, and a Chronology (Philosophy and Medicine #142)
by Laurence B. McCulloughThis book provides the first comprehensive, historically based, philosophical interpretations of two texts of Thomas Percival’s professional ethics in medicine set in the context of his intellectual biography. Preceded by his privately published and circulated Medical Jurisprudence of 1794, Thomas Percival (1740-1804) published Medical Ethics in 1803, the first book thus titled in the global histories of medicine and medical ethics. From his days as a student at the Warrington Academy and the medical schools of the universities of Edinburgh and Leyden, Percival steeped himself in the scientific method of Francis Bacon (1561-1626). McCullough shows how Percival became a Baconian moral scientist committed to Baconian deism and Dissent. Percival also drew on and significantly expanded the work of his predecessor in professional ethics in medicine, John Gregory (1724-1773). The result is that Percival should be credited with co-inventing professionalism in medicine with Gregory. To aid and encourage future scholarship, this book brings together the first time three essential Percival texts, Medical Jurisprudence, Medical Ethics, and Extracts from the Medical Ethics of Dr. Percival of 1823, the bridge from Medical Ethics to the 1847 Code of Medical Ethics on the American Medical Association. To support comparative reading, this book provides concordances of Medical Jurisprudence to Medical Ethics and of Medical Ethics to Extracts. Finally, this book includes the first Chronology of Percival’s life and works.
Thomas S. Szasz: The Man and His Ideas
by Jeffrey A. Schaler Henry Zvi Lothane Richard E. VatzAs it entered the 1960s, American institutional psychiatry was thriving, with a high percentage of medical students choosing the field. But after Thomas S. Szasz published his masterwork in 1961, The Myth of Mental Illness, the psychiatric world was thrown into chaos. Szasz enlightened the world about what he called the “myth of mental illness.” His point was not that no one is mentally ill, or that people labeled as mentally ill do not exist. Instead he believed that diagnosing people as mentally ill was inconsistent with the rules governing pathology and the classification of disease. He asserted that the diagnosis of mental illness is a type of social control, not medical science. The editors were uniquely close to Szasz, and here they gather, for the first time, a group of their peers—experts on psychiatry, psychology, rhetoric, and semiotics—to elucidate Szasz’s body of work. Thomas S. Szasz: The Man and His Ideas examines his work and legacy, including new material on the man himself and the seeds he planted. They discuss Szasz’s impact on their thinking about the distinction between physical and mental illness, addiction, the insanity plea, schizophrenia, and implications for individual freedom and responsibility. This important volume offers insight into and understanding of a man whose ideas were far beyond his time.

Thoracoscopic Repair of Esophageal Atresia
by Ravi P KanojiaEsophageal atresia is a common neonatal emergency, and surgical repair in the newborn period is conventionally achieved by thoracotomy. With the development in pediatric minimal access surgery, esophageal atresia repair has been done with thoracoscopy after its first description in 1999. Many centers now prefer the thoracoscopic approach, which is claimed to be beneficial in terms of outcome both in the short and long term. Neonatal thoracoscopy is a difficult procedure and has a long learning curve. It requires a team approach with a competent anesthetist and surgical assistant. A surgeon alone cannot accomplish this procedure. This book presents comprehensive details on the procedure of thoracoscopic repair of esophageal atresia. The chapters sequentially explain all the procedure steps, from setup, instrumentation, patient selection, and ergonomics to detailed stepwise descriptions of the operative procedure. Since esophageal atresia can have so many variations in anatomy, the chapters cover how to tackle these variations. To keep the reader's interest, a detailed review of history and current literature, along with controversies, is presented. Interested readers will start from the history as the first chapter and can go through the descriptions of the entire procedure from start to finish. Any Pediatric surgery trainee interested in Pediatric Minimal access discipline will find this book as a one-stop resource on everything he wants to know about Thoracoscopic repair of esophageal atresia. The book also includes coverage of non-surgical aspects such as anesthesia and ventilation and effects on cerebral oxygenation during thoracoscopy. The book provides easy-to-understand English and is richly supplemented with illustrations and high-resolution operative photographs. Video clips also supplement the text wherever an operative step is explained. These videos are linked to the publisher’s website for easy access.
Thoracoscopy for Pulmonologists: A Didactic Approach
by Gianfranco Tassi Jean-Marie Tschopp Philippe AstoulThere is an increasing need for medical thoracoscopy performed by pulmonologists, which may be video assisted and has the advantage of being very cost-effective. This book is a comprehensive and up-to-date guide to thoracoscopy for pulmonologists that documents the considerable progress in endoscopic telescopes and instrumentation. Clear practical guidance is provided on technique, and diagnostic, therapeutic, and interventional applications of thoracoscopy are all carefully examined with the aid of high-quality illustrations. Although medical thoracoscopy is much less invasive than thoracotomy, complications can occur in a small number of cases; these are discussed and advice on prevention is provided. The concluding section examines the future of the field, covering developments such as 'mini' thoracoscopy, autofluorescence thoracoscopy, and flexi-rigid thoracoscopy.
The Thorax: Medical, Radiological, and Pathological Assessment
by Cesar A. Moran Mylene T. Truong Patricia M. de GrootThe current medical practice has become more of a team effort rather than an isolated practice. The current evaluation of patients in the daily practice is essentially performed by medical assessment of the patient in question followed by diagnostic imaging, and when needed and possible the evaluation of tissue for diagnosis with its subsequent assessment of biomarkers and other ancillary tools that play an important role in the evaluation and prognosis. The book herein proposed will exactly provide such assessment focused in the thoracic assessment of patients afflicted with any particular disease of the thorax. Expert clinician in pulmonary medicine will provide the state of the art in the evaluation of such patients, which will provide the most important background in the clinical impression and further assessment of these patients. This assessment in most cases is followed by the evaluation of imaging, which provides a highly important information of not only the exact location of the process but also of the nature of whether is localized, infiltrative, diffuse, bilateral, etc., as well as the possible compromise of other adjacent structures. Such information is crucial as imaging and clinical information will provide a working diagnosis, which ultimately will be defined by the pathological assessment. Therefore, in real practice neither one of these subspecialties works alone or in isolation. On the contrary, each one depends on the other for the final diagnosis and proper management of patients with thoracic diseases. Based on such experience is that the current text will provide in the same text of the needed information that a clinician, radiologist or pathologist will need in order to arrive to the best possible conclusion. The scope of this book is unique in its nature as currently, even though there are several text on either one of those specialties, those publication are strictly on the either radiology, medicine or pathology. Our proposed text will bring all those together in a single text and written by experts in their respective field. This book should be of interest to all of those in the practice of thoracic medicine (radiologist, pulmonologist, pathologists) and any one who in the general practice is confronted with the evaluation of these patients.
The Thorax: An integrated approach
by Catherine Ryan Diane Lee Nancy Keeney SmithThis clinical textbook will update the reader on the relevant anatomy, known biomechanics, clinical assessment, musculoskeletal conditions and treatment of the thorax and how these relate to the function of the whole body.
